INCIDENTS OF THE WAR.
ESCAPE FROM DISASTER. By Telegraph.— -Press Assn.—Copyright. Received Oct. 12, 1.10 p.m. London, Oct. 11. Speaking at the unveiling of a memorial to the fallen at Canterbury, Lord Haig sharply criticised the proposed disbandment of four regiments of cavalry, stating he was of opinion that the step was not justified by the lessons of the war. He declared that if Ludendorf had had sufficient mounted troops to throw into action south-east of Amiens in March 27 and 28, 1918, the result might have been disastrous to the Allies. The war had taught them emphatically that cavalry was an essential arm. and it could not be replaced by tanks, aeroplanes, or heavy guns.
